The forest has become a popular tourism destination. Sang Le covers 70 hectares and its natural beauty has still been preserved. Visitors will see an endless sea of green colour of leaves mixed with white coloured stems. Sang Le’s tall trees bloom with purple flowers during the summer.

There are many ranges of trees 30-40 metres in height standing along the pathway, shadowing over other trees of 20-30 metres and surrounded by a carpet of grass, moss, and ferns.
